Abstract

A half-bridge driver includes first and second power switches, connected with their respective current paths in series, a pulse generator for generating a voltage pulse waveform, arranged to drive the first power switch, a first current generator for generating a current pulse for each negative flank of the voltage pulse waveform, a second current generator for generating a current pulse for each positive flank of said voltage pulse waveform, and a differential current receiver circuit. The differential current receiver circuit is connected to the first and second current generators, and is arranged to generate an output signal equal to the difference of the currents flowing through the current generators. The output signal is arranged to drive the second power switch.
